I have said this before:
The corruption of OUR thoughts began when we were young, and they are deep seated.
When I say: he is Red, has horns and a tail, sitting on your shoulder with a pitch fork, I am speaking of a picture that was planted (sown) in your mind, as well with millions of others, my self included.
Question:
Though the above is just one small example, what else of preconceived thoughts are of error, that were also sown in your/our mind since then, about biblical prophecy, involving Jesus' parables, His Resurrection, a thousand years, the Holy Spirit, Heaven, Hell, paradise, Heavenly Jerusalem, the Prophecies of Daniel, antichrist, mystery, Babylon the Great, etc, etc.
Yes, the pictures of error, in OUR minds, are a mish-mash of some truth, but with a large amount of error.
